I go through phases of playing alot, playing a little and not playing at all of OSRS, but I do not play RS3 whatsoever. At the moment I'm in the not playing at all phase, but I expect in the new year I'll get some more motivation to play properly.

I like the less grind and more action style RuneScape 3 has, I still have issues with the game. I dislike how skills go years without updates or additions and we get a new boss every 3 months, not to mention the aesthetic feel has less appeal with some of the more obnoxious aesthetics, looking at you happy walk, and obligatory treasure hunter is awful and should have never even touched RuneScape. The game is much more polished, the questing is fantastic, and the world events are a positive addition to the game.

OSRS knows it's roots and even with updates, keeps with the spirit of the RuneScape we fell in love with. RuneScape's old mechanics have aged well and it's game-play is still unique, and much more accessable. It benefits from a fantastic development team that does not feel artificial. However I think there is a notable amount to mention part of the community that gets toxic and vile at times, (Rs3 is not excluded but it's far more noticable in osrs).

Overall I think osrs, if I had to choose would be my preferred game
I do think people are stuck in the past on RS3, a lot of the complaints I see nowadays are outdated, RS3 has come a long way from it's awful awful eoc launch (It's still not everyone's cup of tea still though).
